Gates alternator belts transmit power to the alternator, supporting electrical generation and battery charging while the engine operates. Their multi-ribbed profile maintains contact with grooved pulleys, while flexible construction accommodates repeated bending through compact drive layouts. Developed around original-equipment dimensions and operating requirements, Gates Micro-V belts provide dependable fit and performance. Heat- and crack-resistant EPDM rubber helps withstand underhood conditions, and precision manufacturing supports consistent pulley engagement with reduced noise and tension loss. These features support reliable belt drive operation during everyday use.
